Thanks Gordon, that means a lot coming from you! your RX7 is an inspiration, and one of my favorite cars.
I have a range of color samples painted onto discs, from when we were developing the shades. Would be more then happy to send them your way.

Thanks I appreciate that!

For the turbo, I'm still trying to figure that out, powerwise I'd be happy with 400-450 reliably tuned to the wheels.

Not sure on the size/brand of turbo yet, still researching what I want to go with.

Ended up going with some black Muteki lugs, they flowed with the powder-coated wheels better.

Good build to rep BC/Canada rotary.
Could you PM a few of those color codes? I have no desire to paint my car the exact same as another person but I'm looking for ideas for my engine bay. I understand if you do not want to give away any secrets, but a general direction would be superb...
Thanks!

Thanks for the comments!

For the color codes, I actually had physical samples that were painted on metal discs so I could look at them under different light conditions as well as next to each other to help when choosing the two colors. They are currently in the mail enroute to Gordon.

Yeah I liked the Kicks but just didn't work. I've posted most of the pics I have throughout the thread. I'll dig around and see if there are any good ones I haven't shared yet.

Sadly the seasons end came a bit sooner then I had planned, had some good venues scouted that I wanted to take shots at, especially from above. Oh well next year!

Hi Fortune_Seven, your build is like a future guide for me, Iam getting my FD3 in December and hopping to get the kit middle next year, but first need to swap the engine, you have here a lot of work and efort to make the car of your life.

I hope you continue polishing bit by bit this piece of heaven.

BTW I get a boner everytime I see Fortune and RX7 together

Keep going mate!!!
